First bus, economy, and

freeloaders like you.

Eternal order is prescribed

by the Sacred Engine.

All things flow from the Sacred Engine.

All things in their place.

All passengers in their sections.

All water flowing, all heat rising...

pays homage to the Sacred Engine.

In its own particulate...

preordained position.

So it is.

Now, as in the beginning...

I belong to the front.

You belong to the tail.

When the foot seeks

the place of the head...

a sacred line is crossed.

Know your place.

Keep your place.

Be a shoe.

We only have 42 seconds left.

So we can go to a

comment of Mr. Wilford,

the divine keeper of the Sacred Engine.

Sir? Mr. Wilford?

Are you there?

Are you there, sir?

It's breaking up. Well then...

Mr. Wilford's a very busy man.

So it is.

Well, we're just gonna watch?

- Not now.

- I'm not just gonna f***ing sit here.

Nah, alright.

Stop, stop right there. Sit down.

Put that useless gun down. Put it away.

Long time no see, Mr. Gilliam.

It's a pleasure!

You look healthy.

He's fine.

Minister Mason, please deliver

a message to Mr. Wilford.

Certainly, what should I say?

Tell him he and I need to talk.

Well, you can talk to me.

Mr. Wilford has no reason to visit here.

Not here.

At the front.

Nice to hear it.

Your son will be a hero, I promise.

Or daughter, whatever it is.

I got it.

- Your contribution has been duly noted.

- Thanks.

So sorry to interrupt

you while you're praying.

So sorry.

There's your Buddha

back, thanks very much.

Move! Move!

Stop fooling around.

I've got a better batch.

Stronger, fresh, uncut.

Want to try some?

How many protein blocks for

10 rocks of uncut Kronol?

They don't have bullets.

Why do you say that?

You remember what Mason said? She

said, "Put down that useless gun".

She meant...

she wouldn't give the order to shoot me.

No.

No, I think the guns

are literally useless.

They've used up all their bullets

4 years ago on the last revolt.

Bullets are extinct.

If you're wrong, we could be

finished before we even start.

I think we should be patient.

Wait for the next red letter.

To the left.

And right.

Not yet, up. Now left.

Good, good.

1... 2... 1... 2...

1... 2... 1... 2...

Hello? Andrew.

Andrew!

Wake up. Rise and shine.

When you dream to much of

the sun, you forget the trees.

I believe this is your son.

I'm sorry, it's not very good.

It's not my best work,

it's a little dark.

If you look very deep into the eyes,

you can see a little bit of hope.

What about my boy? You got one of Timmy?

Yes, Tanya. I do.

Easy, easy. Don't hurt yourself.

Here, there you go, Timmy.

Look at him.

One little smile.

Curtis, you gotta let me come with you.

No, Tanya, I'm sorry.

You will be if you don't let me come.

I'm going to the front and I'm gonna make

that b*tch sorry she put a hand on my boy.

Make this one tighter.

You know I'm stronger than all

these skinny ass soldiers anyway.

Please.

Sh*t, what's going on?

Change of schedule,

boys. They're coming back.

It's now or never.

Don't panic. Stick to the plan.

Hide that, hide your

weapons in your clothes.

- Head check.

- Yeah.

Line up.

Alright, sit down.

1... 2... 3...

What the f*** do we do?

6... Keep going.

I've had enough of this

protein block bullshit.

Yeah, this is bullshit.

- I'm f***ing hungry.

- I want chicken.

We're not gonna sit down for this shite.

We want chicken! Chicken!

Quiet! Be quiet!

Calm down. It's okay.

You want him f***ing dead? Is that it?

Keep quiet.

Still going for it, are we?

Come on, let's go! Let's do it.

The rifles.

No, we can get them.

We easily outnumber their bullets.

This is it.

Curtis, come on.

We're out of time, we gotta do it now.

They've got no bullets!

They've got no bullets!

Keep going, keep going!

Close the gate quick. Shut it.

I'm fine, Grey. You go now.

F***.

Nam Koong Min Soo. Kronol addict.

That explains a lot, doesn't it?

- Hurry up, Edgar.

- Hurry up?

So sorry for keeping you all waiting.

Obviously I work here so...

- Open it.

- Here we go.

Kronol head...

So this is Kronol? I hear it's

pretty big in the front section.

Careful, that's how

these guys hallucinate.

It's industrial waste.

And it's highly flammable.

Are you Nam Koong Min

Soo, security specialist?

Did you design all the door locks

and the security systems on the train?

Look at him man, he's

gone. Look at his eyes.

He's fried his brain

with that f***ing shite.

Are you Nam?

Nam, are you listening?

Yes, I'm listening, bastard.

My name is not "Nem", it is

"Nam". Namgoung Minsoo, sh*t.

Namgoung is my name, my

surname is Minsoo, a**hole.

Unknown words.

Try again with the correct vocabulary.

We need your help.

For what?

We're going to the front.

And we need you to open up the gates.

If I don't want to?

Uncut, straight from the barrel.

Every door you open, you

get one lap of Kronol.

Jesus, Marlboro Light?

I can't believe it.

Cigarettes have been extinct

for more than 10 years now.

You want a smoke too, a**hole?

It's too good for sh*t like you.

I'm gonna make this real simple for you.

You help us, you get your drug.

If not, we put you

back where we found you.

What'll be, a**hole?

Chan.

Chan, get out of here. Let's get out.

That's enough.

I'll put you back in the f***ing drawer.

Get up.

My daughter, Yona. To

move forward, we need her.

So you're coming with us?

For each door, I want

two blocks of Kronol.

She's an addict too?

Nobody there.

Kronol?

Look at all these beds.

Where is everybody?

Looks like they left in a hurry.

There's food on the table.

This can't be a window, can it?

Still cold.

Dead.

All dead.

Alright, let's go everyone. Stay

focused. We didn't come here for this.

You heard the man, let's go. Move.

Nehm... Nam!

Kronol!

How did you know there was nobody there?

He's running.

Paul?

Paul!

What is he doing?

He looks so different.

Just a second.

It's used to be automatic,

but it's hard when it sticks.

- It's not the Paul I remember.

- No.

Paul? It's Curtis!

They ain't coming back,

so now I gotta do it.

Manually.

So that's how it's made.

Still hot.

Look at them all.

You do some nice work.

That's right man, that's your

food. That's your protein block.

Is this why they took

you? To make this garbage?

Paul?

You've been alone this whole time?

Alone.

In the zone.

We're going to the front. Come with us.

Alright, you're going

to the front? Yeah.

But no way, my place is here alright?

Here? Making this crap? Why?

- You can't draw this.

- Okay.

Oh man.

All this time, we've

been eating this sh*t?

I eat them too, you know?

Every single day.

Where'd you get this?

Have you been the one writing this?

I don't write them...

Why do you have this?

Who gave this to you?

They just leave them for me, man.

I put them in the protein

block, I send them on.

That's it.

The water supply section?

Yes, just a few cars up.

It's where the water's

cleansed and recycled.

It's one of the most crucial
